Temperature current converter: key elements for exact process control
Temperature current converters play a crucial role in industrial measurement technology by making it possible to reliably convert temperature signals into analog electricity signals. This conversion is essential in order to transmit temperature information via larger distances without loss and integrate into automated control and regulatory systems.
Areas of application of temperature-current converters
- Automation technology: Integration into PLC systems (Programmable Logic Controller) for process control.
- Chemical and pharmaceutical industry: monitoring and regulation of reaction temperatures.
- Food processing: precise temperature control in pasteurization and sterilization processes.
- HLK applications: optimization of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
- Mechanical engineering: In temperature control circles to ensure production accuracy.
- Energy generation: temperature monitoring in power plants and in the power distribution.
Selection criteria for temperature-current converter
- Measurement area and accuracy: It is crucial that the converter covers the respective temperature range and meets the requirements for measuring accuracy.
- Signal conversion: Selection between different power outputs (e.g. 4-20 MA or 0-10 V), depending on the requirements of the control systems.
- Compatibility: The compatibility with connected sensor types such as thermocouple elements or resistance cervix must be ensured.
- Construction and assembly: The design must be suitable for the given installation situation and allow simple assembly.
- Environmental conditions: Persistence compared to ambient influences such as temperature, moisture and electromagnetic disorders.
- Certifications and norms: Fulfillment of relevant industrial forms and certifications for the respective application.
Optimal installation conditions
- Proximity to the measuring point: Ideally, the converter should be mounted close to the measuring point in order to minimize signal losses.
- Protection against environmental influences: Housing and installation should be chosen so that they are protected from moisture, heat or other ambient conditions.
- Sufficient ventilation: Avoiding heat sources near the converter can prevent overheating and thus measurement errors.
- Shielding: Shields and suitable cables should be used for installations in areas with high electromagnetic disorder.
